“Louisa and her daughter did a great job of communicating with me, though their stay was short. My cat loved the attention they gave her. Her coat was beautifully soft and clean from all the brushing. I would definitely schedule them again when I am out of town.”
“Robert did a great job watching Sadie while we were out of the country for a week. He sent updates every day along with pictures. She looked so happy on her walks and when he was just hanging out with her. I recommend Robert!”
“Kaitlyn was an absolute sweetheart and such a great communicator! Prior to our first booking, she asked thoughtful questions about what she could do to prepare and be well-informed, which I appreciated. She sent me photos and updates while caring for Princeton and also gave me a great recap after I got home. I highly recommend Kaitlyn and will definitely book her again!”
“Annie took great care of our dog and guinea pig! She gave me frequent updates and was very attentive to our anxious dog’s needs. Thank you!!!”

“Hannah was awesome with our 11 year old rescue dog. She was great with walks and an overnight stay. She sent pictures to us and also left our home spotless. We highly recommend Hannah and will definitely request her in the future! We are so fortunate to have someone so reliable!!!”
“Erika was great. She is a delightful person who gleefully mixed with my two furry sweet beasts. When I returned home, everything was in fine shape and the dogs were very happy. I will surely contact her in the future when I travel.”
About: I grew up on a farm here in Dane County and have experience looking after many species: large animal, small animal, fish, reptiles, birds, and of course cats and dogs! I have officially been petsitting since 2018 but have watched the pets of friends and family much longer than that. I received my degree in Animal and Veterinary Biosciences from UW Madison in 2023 with an emphasis in nutrition, and I worked at a pet food store for 6 years previous to that, so I am happy to accommodate any special feeding requests. I own two large protection breed dogs myself, but have also owned and petsat small breed dogs, so I have no size or breed exception. I am happy to work with reactive dogs as long as you help me to have a thorough understanding of what scares/upsets them. Please reach out to me if you have any questions! I am happy to do overnights, stay long term, or do just quick drop ins. I currently am working 8:30-5 M-F so I am typically unavailable during those hours. I am happy to do overnights, long term stays, drop in visits, or walks I make sure to go over all of the owners requests and requirements and to follow all rules. I am clean and tidy and will leave your house as I found it.
“Ann did a great job caring for our dog and even made friends with our very shy cat. She was very responsive and sent lots of updates, which were very reassuring since this was the first time we’ve left our dog at home overnight. Our dog was happy and calm when we returned. We will definitely rebook with her if she is available!”
“Marley goes above and beyond and I’d highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter. Our cat has to take medication and she did great handling that. We were out of town and I trusted her completely. She offered updates and pictures and we knew our cat was in great hands. Her knowledge and professionalism sets her apart from the rest! :)”
“Corey was a great sitter for Buddy! She took very good care of him, asked a lot of great questions and followed the guidance I provided for his care. She administered his meds twice a day and sent me daily updates. She left me a nice note for when I returned home and even ran the dishwasher. I highly recommend Corey and will hire her again for Buddy.”
“We had last minute plans and Katie came to our rescue! One of our dogs just had a minor surgery and one was full of energy - and both were well taken care of during our day trip. Thank you!!”
“Anna did a great job with our dog Oscar! Anna took him on multiple walks and was excellent with updates and sending photos. We will most definitely use Anna again!”
“Grace is an awesome dog sitter! She is very communicative, respectful, and most importantly, loves dogs. She stayed at our house to watch our dog, Scout, and I came home to a very happy dog even though he usually has separation anxiety. Couldn't recommend Grace enough!”
“Sophie jumped in and helped us so last minute & she was great! Gave our dog time to warm up, sent pics and gave her lots of love. Thanks Sophie!”
“Sidney took great care of my house and dogs while I was away for a few days. I will definitely work with Sidney again if I get the opportunity to!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, & many other animals since I was young! I currently have two English Cocker Spaniels - they are sweeties! My husband and I got them as pups and trained them ourselves. I feel very confident working with puppies and I adore them. The dogs I grew up with were all rescues, so I also feel confident in caring for rescue dogs that may have more difficult pasts or behaviors. We had a senior chihuahua up until a year ago- she was my everything! Big or small, active or couch potato, I’m happy to care for your special ones. I am happy to get out and walk, run, bike, train or play as well as cuddle up and give some loves. (: I have a flexible work schedule and can easily fit in part-time pet sitting. I’m happy to come by for an hour or two in the afternoon as well as stay the night and keep the animals active morning and evening. I typically try to avoid leaving pets for more than 5 hours- it’s typically 2-4. I have two sweet, easy going boys that are very happy to play and hang out with other dogs in the owner’s home if they would like. I am flexible- I have watched active dogs, low-key dogs, dogs that need extra love and attention, and everything in between. I’m an active person and am happy to take dogs on longer walks or runs, even. My lifestyle is such that doing activities with animals fits in well with the day-to-day.
“Marri took such good care of my dogs. She sent lots of pictures and updates to let me know how they were doing.”
“Abby is truly the best!! We felt so comforted knowing our boys were cared for and loved by Abby while on vacation. Our cats are NEEDY and she was there for them in every way. She was super responsive and sent frequent adorable updates. She handled an unexpected difficult behavior situation between the boys calmly and wonderfully. We returned to a sparkling house with two healthy and happy cats!! We’re so grateful for Abby’s help and would book her again in a heartbeat. Can’t recommend her enough! Thank you!! ❤️”
